  • A Short History of Shotokan Karate Karate's Origins Can Be Traced Back

    A Short History of Shotokan Karate Karate's Origins Can Be Traced Back

    A Short History of Shotokan Karate Karate’s origins can be traced back to the earliest instances of human civilization. The history of karate that is taught at Harambee Karate Club begins with the Indian Monk Bodhidharma who arrived in China sometime in the late fifth or early sixth century. After several years travel in the country he sensed that most practitioners of Buddhism in China were failing to grasp its central tenets. He settled in a cave across from the Shaolin monastery in Henan Province to show by practical demonstration the “correct” way to achieve what was so often easily misunderstood. Discovering that the monks did not have the necessary stamina to endure the physical and spiritual stresses his type of meditation required, he began instructing them in a method of conditioning that would come to be called Shorinji Kempo. Later on China replaced its civilian envoys to Okinawa with military personnel who were skilled in the arts of Chinese Kempo. Changes in the political leadership in the Ryukyu Island chain and subsequent changes in the relationship between Japan and the Ryukyus led local ch’uan fa groups and tode societies to band together in 1629 to form a united front. Out of this union came Okinawa-te that is a lineal ancestor of what we practice today called Shotokan Karate-Do. As it was fundamentally a combat art Okinawa-te was learned and practiced in secret. Indeed it was not until the end of Satsuma rule in 1875 with the Meiji Restoration that the three major styles, Naha, Shuri and Tomari named after in the cities in which they were located became visible.
  • Application of the Martial Arts' Pedagogy

    Application of the Martial Arts' Pedagogy

    WOJCIECH J. CYNARSKI THE traditionally UNDERSTOOD karate-DO AS AN educational SYSTEM: application OF THE martial arts’ pedagogy Introduction The scientific problem undertaken here is to clarify the application of the “karate pathway” in a specific educational system. A variety of theBudo Pedagogy is applied under the name of karate-do. Is karate really an educational system? The issue will be implemented from the perspective of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts and the anthropology of martial arts.1 It is the anthropology of the “warriors pathway,” as we can translate Budo sensu largo. Of course, Budo sensu stricto is an untranslatable concept, as a specific fragment of Japanese culture.2 Accordingly, we accept this conceptual language of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts and anthropology of martial arts. For instance, “Martial arts is a historic category of flawless methods of unarmed combat fights, and the use of weapons combined with a spiritual element (personal development, also in the transcendent sphere).”3 The ways of martial arts include certain forms of physical (psychophysical) culture, which, based on the tradition of warrior cultures, lead, through the training of fighting techniques, to a psychophysical improvement and self-realization. At the same time, they are the processes of education and positive ascetics. The positive asceticism combines corporal exercise with conscious self- discipline and is oriented towards moral and spiritual progress. 1 W.J.

  • Geschiedenis Van Het Taekwon-Do

    Geschiedenis Van Het Taekwon-Do

    Auteurs: Karel van Orsouw - 9de Dan oktober 2017 Sytze van der Meer - 5de Dan © Copyright stichting United Taekwon-do International - 2017 GESCHIEDENIS VAN HET TAEKWON-DO 1. HISTORISCHE ACHTERGRONDEN De oorsprong van de zelfverdedigings- en vechtkunst ‘Taekwon-do’ ligt in Korea. De naam Taekwon-do is afgeleid van ‘taekgyeon’ (vaak geschreven als taekyon, taekkyon of taekyun en 택택 in het Koreaanse schrift Hangul). Taekyon was een vorm van zelfverdediging die rond het jaar 1800 ontstond en begin twintigste eeuw nauwelijks meer beoefend werd in Korea. Hoewel er dus enig verwantschap bestaat tussen Taekyon en Taekwon-do, is deze slechts oppervlakkig. Behalve dat in beide Detail uit het Koreaanse schilderij Dae sporten de beoefenaars zich veel van Kwae Do waarop twee beoefenaars van traptechnieken bedienen zijn er verder de vechtkunst Taekyon te zien zijn. geen overeenkomsten en verschillen de traptechnieken enorm. Men probeert vaak om Taekwon-do een langere geschiedenis toe te dichten dan historisch kan worden bewezen, om zo de link tussen Taekwon-do en Taekkyon in stand te houden. Taekwon-do is echter vrij recent ontstaan uit het Japanse Karate. Het is in dit artikel niet de bedoeling een erg uitgebreid verhaal over de historische achtergrond van Taekwon-do te schrijven. De bedoeling van dit verhaal is veel meer de geïnteresseerde Taekwondoka enigszins op de hoogte te brengen hoe het Taekwon-do in Korea historisch gegroeid is en hoe de introductie van Taekwon-do in Nederland verliep en zich daarna ontwikkelde. Of liever gezegd, tegen wat voor achtergrond heeft het Taekwon-do zich in de loop der tijd ontwikkeld.
